Top issues during term (18)(General)
Bishop Airport Authority appointment
No new tax or fee comes with applying, but the board helps steer oversight of health and human services spending.
Compass mobile health unit rollout
It could save you a trip and gas money, but the county's picking up the tab for now.
Reduced meeting schedule with monthly workshops
No direct cost, but fewer meetings could change how quickly county business moves.
board appointment opening
No direct cost to residents is specified—the appointee mainly influences how transit money and priorities are overseen.
Road Commission seat recruitment
No direct cost; advertising under normal county policy.
Recycling and Education Center funding gap
Solid waste disposal fees could rise as the county covers a multimillion-dollar shortfall.
public health mobile services
It’s free to patients, and catching cancer earlier can save money by avoiding expensive late-stage care.
Cyclospora outbreak growing in Genesee County
This outbreak can mean doctor bills, missed work, and costly public health response efforts for the county.
county newsletter and IT modernization
No dollar figures are attached yet, so it's unclear whether this is a budget-neutral upgrade or a new line item — worth watching once contract or procurement details surface.
county programs and investments
Your county tax dollars are being directed into local services and partnerships, though the source does not specify amounts.
county resolution recognizing Juneteenth
None directly, though Flewelling questioned the DEI commission's $25,000-$50,000 budget.
county animal control name change
The rename itself probably costs little, but watch for future spending if the county backs up the new “care” label with new programs or staffing.
county health department accreditation
Accreditation can help protect or unlock state funding and grants, though the source doesn’t spell out the exact dollar effect.
public health mobile unit launch
The county is funding a mobile unit rather than a fixed clinic, which could save residents travel costs and help avoid expensive emergency visits later.
public health heat relief
It gives people without reliable AC a free place to cool off, which can help avoid costly emergency care and reduce pressure to run expensive cooling at home.
youth civic engagement
There's no big new line item here, but giving teens a seat could nudge future county spending toward youth priorities.
county property sale
Selling them puts cash in county coffers and gets maintenance bills off the books—though the sale price depends on the bids.
federal grant recognition
No new cash is announced, but the recognition helps protect federal community development dollars from being clawed back and keeps future grant eligibility on solid ground.
